“is it like this every night, while we're asleep?”

“Sometimes we don't know we're dreaming; we can't even fathom that we're asleep.”

“When we're awake, we see what we need to see. When we're asleep, we see what is really there.”

“The night is falling down around us. Meteors rain like fireworks, quick rips in the seam of the dark... Every second, another streak of silver glows: parentheses, exclamation points, commas - a whole grammar made of light, for words too hard to speak.”

“the people you love can surprise you every day... maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it.”

“This time of night, the sky was flung wide open, stars spread like a story across the horizon.”

“So don't judge me, unless you've fallen asleep on a couch with your ill child, thinking this night might be her last.Ask instead: would you do it?Would you give up your vengeance against someone you hate if it meant saving someone you love?Would you want your dreams to come true if it meant granting your enemy's dying wish?”
